I have two lovely candles, hand towel, snowman ornament, seasoned oyster crackers, Tuttie Frutti candies, beautiful wreath, wooden Santa ornament, homemade noodles, chicken broth, choc. covered cherries, and a small Christmas lamp. Everything is greatly appreciated, but I truely wish they would just get their kids a little something extra.
Think of it this way Janet--the parents, by letting the kids give your gifts, are teaching them how great it feels to give to others. I think it's wonderful that they did that for you and a great lesson for the kids at the same time. In my opinion, those kids got more by giving you the gifts than if the parents had just bought them an extra present.
